About Us

The Institute for the Study of the Americas, ISA, at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill is dedicated to the pursuit of knowledge of the Latin American experience in the Western Hemisphere. It builds on a long-standing and distinguished tradition of scholarly interest in the diverse regions that make up Latin America, including Mexico, Central America, South America, and the Caribbean.

In response to COVID-19 restrictions, you may reach any staff member at ISA via email with your inquiry. We would be happy to answer via email, phone, video chat or set up an appointment to help you.

The Latin American Studies Major offers a deep understanding of diverse cultures and an appreciation of a rich past and present of Latin America and the Caribbean.
